Congress Exempts Itself From Obamacare, Can Keep Subsidized Plans

One of the things that's so hypocritical about the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare is that Congress passed this bill and President Obama signed this bill onto the American people.  Congress is exempted from the effects of this bill.  In other words, according to the Washington Times, members of Congress and their staff won't face potentially massive hikes in their health care premiums is because of a clause in President Obama's healthcare overhaul.  There's a loophole there which would exempt Congress from having to pay the high premiums taxpayers will have to pay and some are already paying.  When the key provisions of Obamacare are in place in 2015, healthcare costs will really be high.  To me it's sheer hypocrisy for the federal government to pass laws that they themselves are exempted from.  This healthcare bill is good for the average American,. but it isn't sufficient for certain corporations that received waivers from the Obama administration nor is it sufficient for Obama nor Congress themselves.  They don't care.  They consider themselves gods among men.  They are the oligarchs that think they can treat the U.S. citizen like peasants while they enjoy the very best being in Congress has to offer in the way of perks or other benefits.  It's crooked.
